And a pretty high rejection rate which I figure only helps me save money. But when on a mission....it's hellish. Just remember to incorporate tailoring fees into the price...Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03658570531652539325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34179965.post-54718337134617725692007-08-23T05:35:00.000-07:002007-08-23T05:35:00.000-07:00I try never to go shopping with a particular thing...I try never to go shopping with a particular thing in mind because that means I will not be able to find it, no matter how simple it might seem (eg black pants), how long I look or how many shops I look in. On the other hand, if I have 15 minutes to duck into one store "for a look", I will always find at least 5 perfect items.Rose Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08510204661811765499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34179965.post-80216157314582051722007-08-23T05:04:00.000-07:002007-08-23T05:04:00.000-07:00Hate clothes shopping - try not to do it unless I ...Hate clothes shopping - try not to do it unless I absolutely have to....Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12532520712528416610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34179965.post-66720617521789972782007-08-22T20:08:00.000-07:002007-08-22T20:08:00.000-07:00I have a girlfriend who has a great figure. She's...I have a girlfriend who has a great figure. She's not like model skinny or anything, rather she's just perfectly proportioned. When she goes clothes shopping everything looks good on her. It's totally irratating to observe this, esecially when I'm having a melt down in the next dressing room. BUT, here's the rub: because everything looks good on her, she tends to buy everything. She can't afford to buy everything. I can't afford to buy everything either but if it all looked good on me, I'd have a hard time stopping, too. So when clothing completely doesn't work on me, I remember that it's helping me save money.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08167974715652209632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34179965.post-57658589578881396412007-08-22T19:43:00.000-07:002007-08-22T19:43:00.000-07:00There was a time that I loved trying on clothes. I...There was a time that I loved trying on clothes. I was more carefree then. Had more free time to indulge in long hours trying on lovely things and spending lots of money on pretty things. I was also skinnier then. <BR/>Now I HATE trying things on. The only thing that works for me is to take my young son in with me. He enjoys helping me pick things (so unlike his father in this way!) and always says things like, "Mommy, I think you look perfect in that." One time I tried on a too-small top and he said, "I like that one best because it shows the most of your squishy belly!" I was almost tempted to buy the top just for him. But, i didn't.<BR/><BR/>I just found you through the purl bee and I loved your post so I had to comment... <BR/><BR/>happy shopping!<BR/>MollyMollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04636355264177241618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34179965.post-55735237158814360162007-08-22T16:56:00.000-07:002007-08-22T16:56:00.000-07:00I lik eshopping I don't like trying on pants.

Although on occasion I have been wrong and what I thought would be the best ones weren't!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07047009380102911866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34179965.post-36644712105043674622007-08-22T16:19:00.000-07:002007-08-22T16:19:00.000-07:00I love HAVING new clothes, I just hate the process...I love HAVING new clothes, I just hate the process of ACQUIRING them. I do the same thing you do -- always try on the larger size first. <BR/><BR/>I also usually end up doing a silly little dance in the mirror when I'm not sure about something -- it reminds me that when I'm wearing it in public I'll probably be confident and happy, not grumpy and ugly like I am at that moment.Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10628996812943478660noreply@blogger.com
